Morton Morton House, Historic residential home in Norwood, Pennsylvania.
The Morton Morton House is a two-story brick residence with symmetrical front and an attached wing featuring a distinctive gambrel roof. The structure displays typical Colonial architectural features from the mid-18th century.
Built around 1750, the house sits at the junction of Muckinipattis Creek and Darby Creek. It reflects early American residential building practices during the Colonial period.
The interior layout reflects how people organized their homes and social spaces in 18th-century Pennsylvania, with rooms designed for different family activities and entertaining.
The property spans several acres and is maintained by the Norwood Historical Society, which offers guided tours. Visitors can see the architectural details and period furnishings inside.
The house underwent major restoration in the 1970s and was converted from a private residence into an educational center for local heritage. This transformation made the site a public resource for learning about Delaware County history.
